Whisky Cases.

On July 4th grand celebration
was given at Spangle and mixed up
with bunting, fireworks, oratory and
such was n good deal of whisky.
Now there Is nothing startlingly
strange in the fact that liquor figured
as an element in demonstration of
this kind, as the occasion is one upon
which many people feel that they
are not doing the memory of the day
Justice If they fail in getting rip,
roaring drunk. 1t is so looked upon
as a day for extra inbibatiou that as
a rule the officers of the law give Of
tenders of this description little
more latitude than on ordinary days,
and If IL Is not excused whollyi II Is at
least winked at. However, Spangle
Is one of the prohibition towns in the
territory, and the sale OF liquor was
violation of the local option law
and sndDv,s the were good Worked people I'p to Of
high pitch of indignation over
the matter. +. T.. Pierce and Geo.
Woodland, the men who had the
hardihoOd to defy public opinion
and feed fire water to the multitude
at stipulated price per feed, were
arrested. Woodard was bound over
in the sum of $500, and Pierce was
treated to the same dose. Under n
writ of habeas corpus Woodard
had hearing before Judge Turner
in chambers in this city yesterday.
A large number of Spangleites were
in the city as witnesses and COM
plainants in the case. After hear
ing Judge Turner reduced the bonds
to $500. Mr.. Pierce was hauled up
on charge of selling liquor without
revenue license, making 1t n
United, Estates case, and he was ex-
amined before Judge Booge last
night. The Judge reserved his de-
cision until this morning. The case
has shaken Spangle from center to
circumference and the whole COM
munity is much interested in the
result.

New York, July Sat the Brook
lyn city hall to-day the Grand Army
OF the Republic memorial rooms were
the scene of an extended discussion Of
President Cleveland's letter recalling
his acceptance of ST. Louis invitation.
Some of the comrades said it was too
bad anything had been said to offend
Cleveland, while Others thought the
presidents letter was not ceuched in
friendly terms and would not tend to
mend matters. A few thought the
department commander ought TO re-
buke the comrades who had slighted
the president.

There is talk of a match game of
ball between the Wardner and local
ball club week from to-day. 1t
will be an interesting contest as the
Wardner nine is said to be expert
handlers of both bat and ball.
The ladies who have charge of the
proposed ball for the benefit of the
fire department which comes off on
the evening of July 10Th, are already
busily engaged arranging for the
event. 1t promises to be great
success and more interest that ever
is now taken in the project.
Tho members of the fire depart
ment desire to express through the
columns Of the REVIEW their thanks
and appreciation to Mrs. Palmtag
and Miss Clara Bringham for the
beautiful bouquets that were ar
ranged by these ladies and presented
to the members Friday night.
The total enrolment in the public
schools during the past year was 64S,
3l7 boys and 33l girls. The average
number belonging to the schools
was 439, and the average daily at
tendance was $50. Teachers wages
for the year amounted to $4,455,
average of S61.25 per month per
teacher.
1t seems that there are two WASH
ington and Idaho roads i'm existence,
and both running into Spokane
Falls. The public has no objection
to the name road Is known by, and
the people here are perfectly willing
that the city shall be the terminus of
dozen Washington and Idaho lines.

Yesterday Court Roberts had the
misfortune to lose four valuable
horses in rather singular manner.
He had five animals staked out with
long ropes, and in some manner they
broke loose and went into the river
for water a short distance above
town. The current was very swift,
and the animals were swept from
their feet. Four Of the horses be-
came tangled in the ropes and were
drowned.

MARLTON DOWNING.
Probably Still Waiting.

A farmer near Buffalo, who went to the
headquarters of railroad to see about
getting damages for COW he had killed, was
urbanely received by the superintendent,
who listened to the details for while and
then said:
II see Now, you will give the age, weight
and color of the COW, then you must prove
she was your COW. Then you must have proofs
that we killed her. Then more proofs that
she was not a trespasser. Then deduct the
hide and tallow, employ two good lawyers,
and il we can't beat you by taking the case
to the supreme court wen make some sort OF
settlement-probably allow you half."-Wall

movements take place. One is towards the
formation of trade unions, the other towards
the formation of trade districts. The car
riage-makers of Massachusetts,, for in
stance, are said to be considering the
question whether they will 90 into
trades union or a trades district. AS
general fact, those workingmen who
are not in the Knights of Labor are
tending towards the establishment of trades
unions, while those who have a membership
In the knights, but are not satisfied with it.
are more inclined to organize into trade dis
tricts. Thus the Mckay stitchers and last
ers and the cutters Of Massachusetts have
each a separate union, outside of the trade
district of the Knights of Labor This tend
ency Of the Knights TO go into trades unions
ana trades assemblies marks the general
tendency to associate men of like trades to-
gether instead of putting all sorts of labor
erS In together, as Mr. Powderly would do.
But this much is worthy of notice in connec-
tlon with the Knights. When they break up
itisn to be disorganized, but to adopt some
new method of organization. The decay of
the knights Of Labor order doss not by any
means portend the ruin of organized labor.

Of Maine shall be completed, will be the
shortest Of them all. 1t was by the Cape Of
Good Hope or Cape Horn that European
navigators first reached the Eastern seas.
The Cape Of Good Hope was the preferred
route, and for years the rich fleets of Eng
land brought the wealth of the Indies over
Its long and tedious waste of waters. Then
the Suez canal was dug, and commerce at
once turned through the Pillars of Hercules
and sought the East by the Mediterranean
and Red Sea route. Now new route is
shortly to be opened, passing by our own
doors, shorter than either of the old routes
for many important marts of the East. The
following figures express in thousands of
miles the actual distances by the different
routes:

The war declared by the dissenting
Knights Of Labor comes at bad time for
the order. AT the grand convention at Rich
mond year ago million workingmen were
represented by the throngs of delegates there
assembled At Minneapolis this year there
were but 10000 or 100000 represented, ac-
cording to good authority. This decline is
due to the general dissatisfaction with the
Knights, with their failure to benefit the
condition of the members, and with the
Powderly management. 1t is period of
disintegration in the order, there can be no
doubt, and even before the revolt reported
yesterday there were grave signs of trouble.
There is probably no doubt that quarter Of
million members have left the order out
right, and the significant part Of the situa-

1t had in it the elements of permanence. In
Massachusetts especially the decline has
been very marked within a year AT its
maximum the strength Of the order in that
State was about 100000 members, while TO-
day 1t is said to be not over $4,000 Some of
the local assemblies have given up their
charters altogether, and others have Joined
the unions Of their several trades. The
grievances Of the delegates who have Joined
in the general revolt announced from Chi
cago yesterday are the alleged incompetence
and extravaganza of Powderly and the gen.
eral officers around him, and the hostile atti-
tude which the order under POwderly's di-
rection has evinced toward trades unions
and trades districts. The outcry against
Fowderly may arise from personal jealousy;
out the plea in behalf of the trades unions
ana trades districts is a more alarming fea-
